//------------------------------// // Well.... // Story: Dear Princess Luna // by MelodyScribe //------------------------------// Dear Princess Luna, I brought my box of poems with me to school today, so that I could keep it safe from Moon and Running. It was also that I could work on my poem to you. Both Moon and Running are in a different class than I am, so when I'm at school, they're home. I didn't care that Silver and Gold teased me for being weird, It was better then leaving them with Moon, and whatever she was planning to do with them. Actually, during recess, I was in my little spot against the corner of the school, (I can't really play like the rest of the fillies because of my leg, so I tend to sit around and try to find ways to entertain myself) when Interstellar came over and asked me what I was doing. Since I was in the middle on a poem, I quickly shut the box, which was probably a bad idea, because he looked a little surprised. He asked if it was private. I said, well, yes. So he decided to leave, but I stopped him. I don't know why, I guess I didn't want that to keep us apart, so I invited him to sit and chat. He looked rather pleased, and smiled. But more with his eyes than his mouth. So he did. It was awkward at first, we kind of just sat there, not really saying anything. Then he asked me what it was like living in Manhattan before coming to Ponyville. I didn't know what to say. So I said that it wasn't much different. He looked surprise, saying that he heard that Manehatten was huge and glamorous and great for musical performances. The last part startled me. "Musical Performances?" He responded that his talent was music and songwriting. His cutie mark, the shooting star, represented his love for performing, mostly star and night themed songs. My face grew bright red. I couldn't help but exclaim to him that I thought his talent was astronomy. He laughed, saying that many ponies would think that at first glance, but he showed me his cutie mark again, and I noticed that a few stars surrounding the larger star were actually small music notes. I buried my face in my hoofs. Interstellar didn't look too upset about it, and he himself said that he thought the very same thing until his aunt Sweetie Belle (who also loved to sing) showed him otherwise. After I apologized a dozen times to him for misunderstanding, Interstellar returned to the topic of Manehattan, asking about all the amazing sights there were. I responded with the few places I had been to in Manehatten. I've seen the Statue of Liberty, and I'm familiar with the noise and the hustle and bustle of the place. I've only seen a few shows on Brindleway, such as Pony Pan, Colts and Dolls, and one Shakespony play (I don't remember the name but it had a queen of breezies). I also told him that once my mother and I came across a lovely clothing shop. I had only looked inside but the dresses were so lovely, and expensive. As I said this, I realized that Carousel Boutique had a similar design. When I mentioned this to Interstellar, he said that his mother actually did have a clothing store in Manehatten, as well as Canterlot and a few other places too. Sometimes, his mother goes to her shops to check up with the managers. When I heard this, I was surprised that Interstellar hadn't already been to Manehatten, If his mother has to go there every so often. Interstellar said that his mother hasn't gone in a long time, probably because she has to take care of him and his sister. His father isn't always home either, because he's busy with his own work. I wish I could bring Interstellar to Manehatten. Just so that he could see the place he dreams about. It's getting late, i should go to bed. I still haven't found an Element of Harmony to represent. Love, Citrine
